TRADES UNION LAW. IMPORTANT APPEAL FROM: ABERDARE. In the Court of Appeal on Monday judgment was given for the appellant in the appeal of the plaintiff in the action of Gozney v. the Bristol, West of England, and South Wales Operatives' Trade and Provident Society. The plaintiff in the action appealed from a decision of the Divisional Court affirming a decision of the judge of the Aberdare and Mountain Ash County-court. The plaintiff was a member of the society, and in receipt of sick-pay. He was suffering from consumption, and the society's doctor ordered him to be out of doors as late in the evening: as possible. One rule of the society prohibited members in receipt of sick-pay from being out after certain hours at oer- tain periods of the year, and another rule imposed a fine for disobedience to the doc- tor's orders. imposed a fine for disobedience to the doc- tor's orders. The plaintiff's obedience to the doctor's orders consequently included his violation of the first rule, and for that he was fined 2s. 6d. by the society. The plaintiff thereupon brought the action in the county-court, claiming that the rule prescribing obedience to the doctor's orders was the rule which should prevail. and that the fine had been illegally imposed. The defence was that the society was not a Friendly Society, but a Trades Union, and, consequently, the plaintiff was not nltitled to enforce his claim against it by reason of the provisions of the Trades Union Act, 1871, a section of which provides in effeot that nothing in the Act should enable any court to entertain a.ny legal proceedings instituted for the object of directly enforcing or recovering damages for the breach of certain agree- ments there specified between members of Trades Unions. The county-court judge up- held this objection, and decided that he had no jurisdiction to try the case, and the Divi. sional Court affirmed his decision. The Lords Justices now held that the county-court judge was wrong in declining jurisdiction. The rules of the society had at tie very beginning the statement, "This society is a Trades Union"—a statement- which was erroneous. The society wap really ill utual insurance society against sickness and loss of wages by reason of short- ness of work (called travelling relief. Rule 7). or by reason of voluntary abstention from work (.calied strike-pay). It was a Friendly Society. The court, therefore, discharged the orders of the county-court and the Divisional Ccurt, and remitted the case to the county: court to be heard upon its merits, a.nd directed the respondents to pay the costs.

JUDGE AND MONEY-LENDER A SOLILOQUY IN CARDIFF ÇOUNTY COURT. A young lady, in appearance comely and demure, and quietly and tastefully dressed, walked composedly into the witness-box in, Judge Owen's court at Cardiff on Wednesday I on behalf of a local money-lender named Stewart. His Honour (after, reading something), I addressing witness, said: Have you seen what a London newspaper—"Truth"—says about your employer? Witness meekly answered in the negative. His Honour: Then I advise you to read it. Soliloquising (and again reading), the Judge said: She (defendant) has £60 a year as a teacher at a board school, and is—and is—in the hands of Mr. Stewart! I make an order for Is. a month. I hope she (defendant) won't lose her employment by Stewart apply- ing for a certificate. I am not surprised that even he doesn't come into court in a case like this. PAY WHEN YOU CAN." His Honour Judge Owen made a comment at Cardiff County-court on Wednesday, which would seem to offer a mead of consolation even to the hunger marchers. The judge was at a loss to know how a married man could sub- sist in Cardiff on 15s. a week. He was more surprised that any tradesman should proceed against a defendant in these circumstances. Addressing defendant, his Honour said, "Pay the money when you can. I shall not send you to prison." A TERROR TO POSTMEN." At Porth County-court on Wednee-day P. Russell, a local postman, sued Benjamin Dew, landlord of the Rheola Hotel, Porth, for JE5, which he claimed as damages for injury due to a bite by the defendant's dog. Mr. Evans (Messrs. W. T. Davies and Evans, Porth) represented plaintiff, and Mr. Sydney Jenkins, Cardiff, defended. Plaintiff stated that on September 2 whilst delivering letters defendant's dog rushed at him and bit him on the leg. He was not able to resume duty for nine days. He was paid JE1 5s. 6d. for three days' illness in bed by the department, which Mr. Dew had refunded. After the bite he continued his round to complete the aefivery befoUe consulting Dr. Jackson, who cauterised the wounds. The dog was a terror to postmen. Replying to Mr. Jenkins, witness said he was not aware of any peculiarity in his constitution to attract dogs. (Laughter.) Wesley H. Evans, a letter carrier, said that the dog had TUfi-hed out at him. Letters addressed to the Rheola Hotel by the first post were returned marked Dog at large," and delivered by the second post. Defendant deposed that on receiving a complaint from plaintiff he consulted Inspector Williams, and at onoe had the dog destroyed. Judgment was entered for the defendant, with costs. A HUCKSTER'S "LUGGAGE." A point of interest to small traders was raised at Porth County-oourt on Wednesday when Agn B. Ward, huckster, Treala.w, sued the Taff Vale Railway Company for damage done to greengrocery in course of transit from Pontypridd. Plaintiff said she was a ■ dealer in "all sorts," and travelled to Trealaw with some goods labelled as pas- sengers' luggage. Mr. Ingledew, for the defendant company, produced its bye-laws, and submitted they were not liable for pas- sengers' luggage. Judge Bryn Roberts held otherwise, stating that the company were liable for accepting the goods. Judgment was given for plaintiff, with costs. OATH AGAINST OATH. The Rev. R. J. Martin, curate at St. Paul's Church, Porth, was. sued at Porth Oounty- urt on Wednesday for £2 5s. 6d. by George Cox, an ostler, for work alleged to have been done in cultivating a plot of land on the mountain side. The defendant stated that by an arrangement with plaintiff the man wae to reoeive ha.lf of the plot for his own use for tilling the other half. The evidence was conflicting, and his Honour Judge Bryn Roberts disallowed the claim, remarking it was a quætio of oath again8t oath.

It is a veritable Noah's Ark on wheels. There are countless wild animals of interesting species, Some of the finest lions in Europe, tigers, bears, wagon- loads of monkeys, dromedaries. leopards, antelopes, Ac., whilst the Tasmanian devils on view cannot fail to attract considerable attention. There is a baby hippopo- tamus and the only white kangaroo (with young) alive. The doors will be opened at seven p.m. on the first day, others days at twelve noon as a zoological prome- nade. The show is well-known, and claims to be the most complete and interesting zoologi- cal exhibition in the world. There will be daring performances during the show by three of the most famous lion tamers on earth. A splendid band plays daily in the exhibition all the latest and up-to-date music. To see this great show coming into town will give the public some idea of its magnitude. In coming once more to our city we wish the proprietors every success.

"TURNED HUSBAND OUT." EXTRAORDINARY STORY AT PEM- BROKE DOCK. An extraordinary story was unfolded at Pembroke Dock on Wednesday, when Annie Miles was committed for trial at the next assiaee upon a charge. of feloniously marry- ing Herbert Richard Whitefoot whilst her husband, George Miles, was still alive. Light- foot was alao committed upon a charge of aiding and abetting. It appeared from the evidence that the woman was married to Miles in 1904 at St. John's Church, Pembroke Dock. The parties lived together in King-street, and afterwards with her father. Whitefoot went to lodge with them, and on November 30 rs. Miles turned her husband out. Previous to this Miles said that he had asked Whitefoot why he had been going into his wife's bedroom, and received this reply, I'm looking after her." On February 1 Mrs. Miles and White- foot were married at the Pembroke Registry, when Mrs. Miles described herself as Annie Gwendoline, spinster." They went away two days later, and were arrested at Fish- guard on Monday. When arrested Mrs. Miles said that she had never loved Miles, and Whitetoot said that he and Mre. Miles wooid. never ;>ait.

HEALTH AND NERYES. t WORDS OF WARNING FROM SWANSEA M.O.H. A meeting of the South Wales and Mon- mouthshire Centre of the Sanitary Inspec- tor's Association was held at the Town-hall, Swansea, on Saturday, Dr. W. Williams presiding. At the general meeting, which took place after the council meeting, a paper was read by Dr. D. J. Morgan, medical officer of health, Swansea, on Health." He said the requisites for good health were as follows:—Plain wholesome food, pure water, fresh air and sunlight, sufficient sleep and exercise, plain and suitable clothing, dry and suitable houses, cleanliness, a sensible edu- cation, a definite healthy occupation, a definite hobby. a contented mind, and moderation in everything. Practical success in life depended more on physical health than was generally imagined. Many of the most successful men were men who had been born and bred in the country, and one of the greatest factors which made them so successful was that they were able to outlive and outlast other men. They were often men with great commons-ense and powers of observation. We were living at a mveh faster pace than our ancestors did. It was true, as the. German Chancellor said, that Englishmen were becoming more excitable. A medical practitioner to-day had in mo-it cases to treat the mind and not the body, and the most successful practitioner was the best student of human nature. In spite of modern advantages, people did not thins vs intelligently as their forefathers did. There was a vast deal of ignorance of a certain kind flying about. People would not think for themselves, and quacks thrived on their ignorance, and they were caught by lying paragraphs in the newspapers about extraordinary cures. The future work of medical officers and sanitary inspectors would be to educate the people to use their common-sense, and to put in practice the old saying that prevention was better than extra. Mr. Llew. Davies, chief sanitary inspector, Swansea, then presented a drainage problem. Mr. Daviee gave an intereatiug illustration of the execution of drainage work in con- nection with houses, producing diagrams of a scheme which extended almost rouaid a house for a distance of over 100ft. The lesson was intended to show how the inspec- tors should utilise engineering knowledge. Discussions followed. The party after- wards inspected the new dook works, and were entertained at luncheon by Major David Lewis on returning to town.

A writ has been issued and served on the I solicitors to the Federation (Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, and Nicholas), under which the respondents (tho Federation and the trustees) are cited to appear in the Court of Chancery before Mr. Justice Swinfen Eady on Friday, I March 12, to show cause why an interlocutory injunction should not issue restraining them generally from the further collection of the Parliamentary levy, and preventing them from disposing of the sum of £ 17,000 which has accumulated as the result of such collec- tion in the pa<st. The plaintiff in the pro- ceedings is Mr. Tom Jones, late chairman of the Rhondda Conservative Association, and the counsel appearing on his behalf will be Mr. E. C. Macnaghten, K.C., and Mr. J. A. Lovat-Fraser (instructed by Mr. T. P. Prichard, solicitor, Cardiff). It is stated that the South Wales Mine".

CLAIMS TO PHOTOGRAPHS. THE FALSE PRETENCES CHARGE AT CARDIFF. OUajrles Hodge (54) was again before Mr. Milner-Jones at Cardiff Police-court on Tues- day on charges of obtaining money by means í of a trick. Mr. Harold Lloyd prosecuted. It I will be re-oailed that the prisoner was alleged to have canvassed for enlargements of photo- graphs, and thus obtained sums of money, but the orders were not fulfilled. Detective- sergeamt DAciks spoke to finding on defen- dant's premises numerous letters of com- plaint. Prisoner was committed to the assizee on the same bail. During the hearing of the case Mr. Lloyd asked leave to mention the fact that he had received a large number of letters from all parts of the country claiming photographs, some of dead relatives, and, in fact, there were three persons in court, two from Aber- tillery, who were th-re for the purpose. With the prisoner's permission he would like the police to hand over any photographs claimed in that way, and'if Hodge consented to that he (Mr. Lloyd) would see that it wae brought to the notice of the judge, assuming prisoner was committed. Prisoner consented to the police handing over photographs thus claimed.

■ NO PLACE FOR A CORPSE. PUBLIC REPROACH RAISED AT LLAXELLY. ( At a meeting of the Llanelly Urban District Council a letter was read from the local trades and labour council calling attention to the delay in the erection of a mortuary in the town, and also the provision of stretchers for use in case of accidents. Mr. Nathan Griffiths explained that the body of a sailor whose death took place suddenly last week was carried on a ladder to a place which wae infested with rats. The trades council considered that it was scandalous to the town that the present plaoe should be left as it was. He did not think that any member would say that an old stable which was not fit for cattle to live in was a decent place to lay the dead. Mr. William Roberts obeerveA that a remark was made by the comrade of the dead sailor that he had travelled round the world many times, and he had never laid a dead body in such a place. Mr. D. James Davies explained that the. delay was due to the fact that the late coroner did not approve of their plans. It was decided to refer Ule matter to com- mittee for consideration.

POLICE AND LANDLORD. SOLICITOR'S STRONG OUTBURST AT LLANELLY. John Hhissen, Tymelyn Hotel, Llanelly, was summoned at the local police-court for an' offence against the Licensing Acts. Mr. D. R,, E<lmunds defended. Police-sergeant Hodge Lewis gave evidence of a man named James entering the Ty- melyn Hotel about eight a.m. on Sunday, the 31st of January. Subsequently, witness met him, and in consequence of a statement made to him he went to see the landlord of the hotel. Mr. Edmunds protested against the methods adopted by the police in securing evidence for the case, saying the police were only trying to trap the defendant. Superintendent Rogers: The sergeant does not decide as to whether proceedings are to be taken or not. Mr. Edmunds: What dog's chance has one got om God's earth if the police adopt methods like this. After further evidence had been given the Bench inquired of the police whesther they were concealed, but the police refused to reply, amd the. case was dismissed.

WELSH DRAMA IN CARDIFF FINE PERFORMANCE BY ABER- DARE ARTISTES. The prejudice against anything that savours of the drama is fast dying out in Waies, and I the large iud highly-delighted audience which assembled at the Cory-hall, Cardiff, on Wednesday night to witness the' performance of the Welsh drama, "RhYa Lewie," by an Aberdare society comprising a number of county schoolmasters, chaired bards, and National" prize-winners in elocution, afforded striking evidenoe in support of the proposal to -establish a Welsh National Theatre in the Principality. The vieit of the I Aberdarians was arranged by the influential I' Cymry Cymreig" fraternity of Cardiff in celebration of the St. David's Day festival, and the play, which is a well-conceived adap- I tation of Daniel Owen's popular Welsh novel by Mr. E. OgWÐll Williams, F.R.G.S., of Aber- dare, was enthusiastically received. The drama deals with four striking periods in the life of the famous old Welsh preacher, and iB full of deep interest. The quaint humour of the old Welsh folk of half a cen- tury or go ago ripples through the piece, and is intermingled with a good deal of pathos I incidental to the life of hen weinidog Bethel." The scenery, by Mr. D. H. Thomas, formerly of Carnarvon, together with the costumes, was typically elsh in design. The company, which contemplates visiting America in order to foster Weleh sentiment, includes several very talented performers. The principal parts were well taken by Mr. E. Ogwen Williams ("Tomos Bartley"), Mr. D. Clydach Thomas ("Wil Bryan"), Mr. Henry Lloyd (Ab Havin) in t he titular role of Rhys Lewis." Miss S. A. Edwards as Mari Lewis," and Mr'. W. Jenkins (Meirionydd) as Y Gwyddel," while the other members of the company included Mr. Afanydd Morgan ("Bob"), Mrs. H. Lloyd ("Barbara Bartley"), Mr. A. Watkins ("Prifathraw y Coleg"), Mr' I David Richards ("Yr Heddgeidwad Williams"), Mr. J. Williams ("Mr. Williams"), Mr. Aubrey Roberts, B.A. ("Mr. Brown"), and Mr. W. W. P. Lewie, B-A. Mr. David Evans acted as stage manager, whilst Mr. Ogwen Williams and Ap Hevin are the joint secretaries of the Aberdare society under whose auspices the play was produoed-

Pe buasai'n dull o ddmbhlu'r wyl yn tuiddu, i gadarnhau a grvmuso addysg yr addoldy a'r aelwvd, ond odid na fausai'n rhwymedigaoth arnom i gydymffurfio a dull heddyw o anrhydeddu cofFadwriaet-b Dewi Sant; ond yr ydym wedd enill cyndfer o fuddug- oliaetbau yn ddiweddar, a'n. cymydogion, ar acblysnron fel hyn, mor barod i'n gor- ganmol, fel y mae perygl i'n llwyddiant droi yn fagl i ni. Rywfodd neu gilydd, y mae harufodion ein cenedlaetholdeb yn fwy diogel pan fo "dwyreinwynt garw" yn chwythu o gyfeiriad I/loegr, ac nid wyf yn sior nad yw beimdadaeith arinbeg a difriaeth ein cymydogion wedli bod y gwrtaith goreu gawsom ar hyd y blynydd- au. Ond pan fo gor-ganmoliaeth yn cymeryd He beirniadaeth, ein profedig- i aeth yw pen-feddwi ar eiriau gwag gwyr na feddant ddirnadaeth am guddiad ein cryfder, ac o ben-feddwi mynd yn esgeu- lus o hanfodion. Pan nad oedd y Gym- raeg ac addysg yn bethau poblogaidd, ym- geleddid hwy gan wyr parod i aberthu er eu mwyn; ond erbyn hyn y mae'r rhod wedi troi, a'r pethau oeddynt gynt yn ddirmygedig wedi bod yn destynau ym- ffrost poh math o Gymry. Yn y "cysyllt- iad hwn dywedodd y Parch. Thomas Hughes, A.T.S., gweinidog effro Eglwys Annibynol Minny-street, Caerdydd, rai gwirioneddau noe Sul diweddaf ddylent gael sylw Cymry Morganwg yn neillduol. Y mae perygI," ebai, i lawer dyibao I fod addysg yn gwneud creryefd yn ddian- genrhaid. Yn fynych nid yw addysg ond yn golohi'r owpan o'r tufaes, a gair arall am genedlaefcholdeb yw uchelgais I hunanol. Dylem ymffrostio yn ein oyfun- dreffn addysg a'n cenedlaetholdeb, ac y mae pob Cymro gwerth yr enw yn gwneud hyny; ond nid o'r cyfe-mad hwn y mae'n perygl. Y mae ugemiau o ddynion cyhoeddus yn Nghynam na wnaethant ddim i ymgeleddu'r Gymraeg hyd nes iddi enill ei hawl i fyw, ond heddyw gall- esid tybio mai hwy yw ei hamddiffynwyr dewraf. Nid y Cymmrodorion sydd wedi oadw'r iaith yn fyw yn gh rd d, er cystal gwaisanaetb. y gymdedthas honno. W'5 Pwy, ynto ? Yr eglwysi Cymraeg a'r ael- wydydd. Oni bad am sel yr Ysgolion Sul, buasad'r i 't-h wedi trengu yn Nghaer- dydd; as os na ofejir am lygad y ffynon- aan grefydd-bydd yn sicr o edwdno." Gair yn ei bryd, yn ddi-au, yw rhybudd y gwr pareheddg. Dyna un o'n mt,,nau gwan fel Cymry yn yr ardaloedd poblOg ar hyd y blynyddoedd, ac y mae pob ffurf ar ddathlu Dygwyl yn elfen o berygl h.yd nes y diog^li1". ha-nfodiion ein cenedl- aetholdeb. Os geHir gwneud i'n dull pre- senol o ddaitblu'r wyl adlewyrchu ein gwir gymeriad, pobpeth yn. dda; os nad yw ond cyfle i Gymry dysgedig siarad Saes- neg ac enill poblogrwydd, goreu oil po gyntaf i n.i daro ar rywbeth mwy cydnaws a choffadwriaeth a llafurus gariad ein nawdd-sant. DYGWYL DiErwI YN NGHAERDYM). Pel arfer, cynaliodd y Cymmrodorian wiedd yn Neuadd y Pare nos Sadwrn diweddaf, o dan lywyddlaeth yr Henadur Robert Hughes. Nid yn unig rhoddwyd arbenigrwydid yn y wledd ar goffadwr- iaeth Dewi Sant, ond gwnaed defnydd o'r amgylohiad hefyd i alw sylw at Hywel Dda a'i gyfredthiau. Ymddiriedwyd y gorchw^i hwn i'r Barnwr Vaughan Wil- liams, gwr enwog sydd wedi ac yn cymeryd rhan flaenllaw mewn mudiadau Cymreig yn y dyddiau hyn. Efallai taw ei anerobiad ef ydoedd y goreu-beth yn y wledd, a chan ei fod yn dal safle mor bwysig yn y gyfraith a'i fryd ar gyfredth- iau. gall wneud irhyw gymaint o les i gymydogion a'u bryd ar ein diystyru a'n bydhanu, yn gystal a Chymry Seisnig sy'n credu fod pob daioni wedi dod i m trwy ein cyfathra-ch a'r Saeson. Tynir llwch oesau oddiar goffadwriaeth ein gwroniaid yn y dyddiau' hyn, a phe gwnai'r werin y defnydd priodol o ffrwyth ymchwiliad ein dysgeddgion, dau y grymusid ei phen- doerfyniarl i fyw yn ei ffordd ei hun ac i ymddadblygu ar linelkui cydnaws a'i hanianaw-d.

Cynaliwyd gwasanaeth Cymraeg yn Eglwys Gadeiriol Llandaf dydd Llun, pryd y preget-bivrd gan y Parch. C. A. H. Green, Aberdar.

Y DIWEDDAR MR. MILDON. Yn marwolaeth v cvn-Henadur Samuel Mildon, yr hyn a gymerodd le yr wythnos ddiweddaf, coliodd Caerdydd un o'i goreu- gwyr. Llanwodd le amlwg yn mywyd y ddinas am flynyddau lawer, a pherchid ef gan bob plaid a dosbarth. Bu cadair y Maer o fewn ei gyrhaedd unwaith neu ddwy, ond o herwydd llesgedd gwrthod- odd yr anrhydedd. Yr oedd Mr. Mildon yn wr unplyg ei feddwl, ac edrychai vn mywr llygad pawb o'i gydnabod, a pherchid ef fel boneddwr a Christion gan bob plaid a dosbarth. Ychydig f uasai'ii tybio oddiwrrh ei enw ei fod yn Gymro, ond Cymro ydoedd o'i goryn i'w sawdl, a Cliymro hefyd a'i gyneddfau meddylioi wedi eu diwvilio a'i ysbryd wedli. ei lefein 10 gan grefydd Cymru. Gan nad faint fyddai y galwadau, nid ei arfer ydoedd esgeuluso'-r Ysgol Sul na chyrddau wythnosol ei eglwys; cymerai ddyddordeb yn mhob adran o'r gwaith. Llanwodd swydd blaenor yn Eglwys Pembroke-ter- race (M.C.) am flynyd-dau lawer, ac ni charodd yr anrhydedd ond yn ol ei man- tais i hyrwyddo'r achos ac i wne-ud damni. Cyll y Parch. John Morgan Jones un o'i weithwyr mwyaf diwyd yn marwolaebh Mr. Mildon, a chyll crefydd un ymdrechodd yn deg ei chymeradwyo i eraill drwy fywyd gwastad, difwlch, a boneddigaidd. Brodor o St. Ffagall ydoedd; ganwyd ef yn v flwyddyn 1842. Melinydd oedd ei dad, ac ni chafodd 1)1a.b ond manteision yr Ysgol Frutanaida yn more ei oes. Symudodd i Gaerdydd wedi bwrw ei brentisiaeth, a bu am rai blynddau yn dilyn ei alwedigaeth fel saer. Drwy ddiwydrwyckl ctnilodd ddi-gon o arian i ddechreu adeiladu, a llwyddodd yn fawr; ond, er ei holl ffawd, carai symledd y byn-yd Cymreig o hyd, a dal- lodd yn ffyddlon i boll draddodiadau ei dadau. Ymhyfrydai yn yr Ysgol Sul a phob cwrdd crefyddol, a gwnaeth lawer cymwynas yn ol cyfahvyddyd ei Feistr, N-a wyped dy law ddehau," &c..

BANKRUPT'S INVENTION." ADMISSION MADE IN THE NEW- PORT COURT. The public examination in bankruptcy of John Hubert Leadbeter, contractor, of New- port, took place on Tuesday (before Mr. Regis, trar Hornby). Mr. F. H. Daunoey appeared for the debtor. The gross liabilities were set down at £ 2,307 IBs. 2d.. those expeoted to rank for dividend at 11,667 10B. 3d., and the assets at £465 7s. 5d. He attributed his failure to loss on contract on Monmouth Grammar School and inability to realise haa mortgage property. He thought he lost between 1700 and LODO on the Monsmoatli Grammar School. contract. "How was that ?" the Official Receiver wanted to know.—Through the unreasonable- ness of the clerk of the works, who raised many objections. Debtor thought the best way was to humour him. The Official Receiver: And you humotrred him till you got here (in the bankruptcy- court). In answer to further questions by the official receiver, debtor admitted writing to a firm of quarry-owners stating that he had between L" and £ 400 due on account of a sewerage contract at Risca. Was that an invention?—I suppose H. was. Was that letter true or an invention to get time?—An invention to get time. He had received al' the money that was coming to him from the Risca corrtraot. The examination was adjourned fW the filing of a profit and lose account. CHILDREN AND SISTERS AS CAUSE OF FAILURE. Those who look upon children as a foM investment might consider the case of Theo- philus Coombs, who underwent his public examination in bankruptcy at Newport on Tuesday, before Mr. Registrar Hornby. He W86 a baker and confectioner, of 22, Oaerau-road, and Baneswell-road, Newport, and showed gross liabilities of £ 1,193 10b 4., those ex. pected to rank for dividend JB373 3s. d., and assets EI24 12s. 4d In answer to the Official Receiver (Mr. F. Gardner), he said he attri- buted his failure to bad trade and a long family of nine children. And you aleo, I believe. h?d considerable expense owing to the illness of two eoistersP- Yes; I think it cost me about £150. They were ill for a long time, and you had to maintain them?—Yes. You say that you were insolvent when yoll removed from Oaerleon. What hope had you of recovering your position when you had this long family and two sick sisters?—I did not know exaot-ly what my position was, and I only had five children then. Debtor went on to say that at the time of the private meeting of his creditors, at which an offer of 100. in the £ was made, he did not think that his assets exceeded 1100. The solicitors, however, in whose hands he had placed his affairs set them down at £2:)9 5s. 4d. The Offioial Receiver put in a letter from the solicitors in question with reference to this discrepancy. The Registrar having read it, passed it back to the official receiver with the laoonir remark, Disgraceful." The Official Receiver adopted the saixfe ex. pression, and said it was not a solitary instance in the last few years. Debtor said when, the offer of 10s. in the £ was made he had not the slightest hope of being able to pay it. He had no idea why there should be an attempt to inflate the vaJue of the assets. The examination was adjourned for further particulars as to accounts.
